Off-tournament game: BRI/JAP * Singapore 1942Here you can find map and battle details:Armies - British defensive scenario. British 100 pts, japanese 125 pts. - Mines, pillboxes, command vehicle counters & trenches available. - Number of placed installations (above) may not exceed number of deployed friendly units. - Only one aircraft, no airdrops and no tanks allowed in the army (as all this was very rare in that theatre; other vehicles may be used). Deployment zone: Special. North-South deployment. - Attacker 2 hexes from the edge; must use landing barges if no more land is available (use US landing craft with its parameters). - Defender (British) deploys 2 hexes around the objectives. Obstacles may be placed up to 4 hexes from defender deployment zone (as on cards). Tips for beginners - none, we are not beginners 
Winning conditions - objectives have equal value. After 7th turn, if each of the objectives is held by undisrupted opponent units, the game continues until 10th turn. After that, if there is still a stalemate, army value becomes the victory condition.

Shall we decide the sides by a throw or you have some preferences? I can do any side, but I prefer fighting for the King than for the Emperor
|
||||
| carrion |
You may fight for the King, I'll fight for the Emperor. | ||||

Army sent to The Mighty A (3rd side). Waiting on yours.
Initiative roll is not needed, as in defensive scenario I deploy first and you start. I am updating the map now. |
||||
| Sindor |
What to say...Never was so much owed by so many to so few 
Mines are green, positions sent to The Mighty A. Barbed wires are grey. MG is in a pillbox pointing on G8. 
|
||||
| The Mighty A |
I will be out this next week and will not be able to judge the game. It looks like it should be good.
Good luck to both sides. |
||||
| carrion |
Will send my army to The Mighty A, and post it here, so we can start. He can verify if anything is amiss when he gets back. | ||||

Got the armies in just in time. 
Everything looks good (of course). Sindor also has a Bristol Beaufighter which (for obvious reasons) is not on the map. I am looking forward to finding out how this game goes. Good luck. |
||||
| carrion |
|
||||
| carrion |
Will do first move later today. gives you time to look at set-up. Good Luck, and let's have some fun. | ||||
| carrion |
Arisaka-01 moves to C8
Arisaka-02 moves to C9 both have mine markers, real or not. |
||||
| Sindor |
C9 fake, C8 real 
Mine explodes on C8: Rolls: (6d6)     
|
||||
| Sindor |
 To accelerate the game - I am available from 8:00 to 16:00 of C.E.T. (GMT+1) and sometimes in the evening (20:00-24:00 C.E.T.)
Please fit your time availability somewhere in these intervals so we could agree on some "Time T". |
||||
| carrion |
Easier said then done, manage a restaurant kitchen and have a new son in the house, so will do my best.
?-How do the mines actually work, after knowing which is the real one, can I move through them safely or can they still cause damage. |
||||
| carrion |
your move |
||||
| Sindor |
Oh, well, being an office clerk has some advantages
Mines are one-time affair. Used mines are discarded. Optionally, you may place more than 1 mine/hex and form a minefield - then only one mine is revealed each time. I would prefer if only one person makes the map, as now I have to re-paint all your units on my version of the map (movements saved in .jpg format cannot be updated). |
||||
| carrion |
You can make the maps, I will stop then. Sorry about that. | ||||
| Sindor |
Update and my movement (I hope your units are well placed):

Zero to B5
and I have a LMG in C3 your plane |
||||
| Sindor |
Bristol on E1, fires immediately at 70mm gun on B2 (as there is no target for Zero) * you may try to disrupt the attack by LMG on C3 (but with 6 dice on 5+, I do not expect miracles): Rolls: (7d6) 
(if more than 3 hits, then destroyed) |
||||
| carrion |
Both Arisakas to D8
SNLF Capt-2 to C8 SNLF Fan-1 to D14[mine] Imp Inf-2 to D4[mine] After result of mines will finish the rest. ?-Does covering fire have to hit to take affect. |
||||
| Sindor |
None of mines was real.
As for the Covering fire:- you have to score in order to disrupt the unit as with ordinary Defensive fire. However the unit is disrupted immediately, with reduced attack and defense - so it is not as bad as it seems (but even with more hits scored by this attack, the enemy cannot be more than disrupted...)
|
||||
| Sindor |
PS: Arisaka 1 could not move on D8, being disrupted by AI Mine on C8 (3 hits = face-up disrupted counter) | ||||
| carrion |
Sorry about that, Arisaka-1 stays, should read the cards, all the way, before moving. Thought mines had to equal defense. The 3 hits actually makes them move effective. | ||||
| carrion |

your assault. | ||||
| Sindor |
If I have it correctly, the only result is that the 2in mortar was disrupted serveral times?
Artillery fires: G5 2in mortar indirectly at C4 (ImpSgt + LMG) K7 3in mortar indirectly at C8 (SnlfCpt + disrupted Arisaka) K9 3in mortar indirectly at B15 (Mortar + SnlfCpt) --- |
||||
| Sindor |
G5 2in mortar:

Oh no... but at least, some hits
G5 2in mortar hit ImpInf2 on D4: Rolls: (6d6)
* Cover roll: Rolls: (1d6)
K7 3in mortar hit MG on C9: Rolls: (7d6)
* Cover roll: none K9 3in mortar missed entirely. |
||||
| Sindor |
ImpInf2 at D4 massacred, MG on C9 pinned down (disrupted).
On my side, 2in Mortar disrupted. Next turn initiative: Rolls: (2d6) + 2
* Re-roll Rolls: (2d6) + 2
|
||||
| Sindor |
If I win the initiative, I would like to begin.
PS: 70mm gun on B2 was also disrupted, by plane. BTW: How your Imperial Sgt managed to move from B2 to C4 in one phase, when he unloaded during the movement turn from the Landing Craft ? There is no "road runner" bonus
|

Ok, I will update the map this evening and begin my movement... | ||||

I think I can put forward my allied assault phase as it does not interfere with your airstrike:
I4 SMLE hides on H4 H4 SMLE moves to H5 J6 Lieutenant moves to J7 I10 SMLE fires at Imp.Inf. E8: Rolls: (6D6) 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 G5 2in mortar fires directly at LMG (D4): Rolls: (6D6) 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (disrupted -1, so "6" only) K8 3in mortar on B2 (gun + Arisaka-2): Estimate: Rolls: (1D6) 1 Reality: Rolls: (1D6) 1 * Dispersion: Rolls: (1D6) 1 K10 3in mortar on C15 (81mm mortar): Estimate: Rolls: (1D6) 1 Reality: Rolls: (1D6) 1 * Dispersion: Rolls: (1D6) 1 and I9 Bofors on your HMG on C9 Rolls: (8D6) 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 Vickers HMG attack follows. |

Damn dice roller  Again:
I10 SMLE fires at Imp.Inf. E8: Rolls: (6d6)
G5 2in mortar fires directly at LMG (D4): Rolls: (6d6) (disrupted -1, so "6" only)
K8 3in mortar on B2 (gun + Arisaka-2): Estimate: Rolls: (1d6) Reality: Rolls: (1d6) * Dispersion: Rolls: (1d6)

[quote="Sindor"]
really? how would anyone know this? Then I probably played our game wrong. I don't think it had a lot of effect but it would have had some. so if 2 units move into the mine at the same turn how do you know what to do? and if someone moves into the mine on the next turn the mine is already supposed to be picked up? |
||||
| Sindor |
I cite from the Counters & Fields List for HHR (ver 3.0 issued and linked before the tournament): AI Mines AAM: - HHR: Cost 1 pt. See the card for details (Set 4). Laid up to 4 hexes from deployment zone. Two false traps included in price. If a Soldier enters the hex with the real trap counter, turn it and make a roll. Engineers may enter the mined hex w/o penalty. Once used, discard the counter. Try: You may place up to 3 false/real mines on one hex. However, I respect that not everybody is able to download from that particular server and there are a lot of differences to remember so I have judged that in your game the mine-or-not-mine was not the main reason of Raevski defeat. |
||||
| Sindor |
BTW: On D15, there was a mine, against Fanatics:
Rolls: (6d6)
|
||||
| Sindor |
They should be disrupted in the turn they moved ... so it is as nothing happened. This feature should be also changed a bit, to make mines more challenging. | ||||
| Sindor |
And, map update (movements shown as lines):

| Sindor |
Hm. Could be better.
Results: 70mm gun dead. Arisaka 2 dead. Mortar 81mm dead. Isuzu truck disrupted. HMG re-disrupted. Your assault. |
||||
| The Mighty A |
For clarification, what is the Isuzu truck?
The card says that it is a Soldier-Artillery, but based on your attack, it would appear to be a vehicle. Having it be a vehicle makes more sense. |
||||
| Sindor |
Isuzu truck is a vehicle (of course, a truck is A vehicle) and Sindor is a moron  There are still some mistakes to be corrected. BTW infantry with the defense 1/1 would not be playable.

* Could not ged rid of Bofors icon, as it is connected to the Barbed wires drawing somehow. Ignore the black model... ** I remind you that the Pillbox is treated as 5/5 "vehicle". So no mortar shell could harm it. But its field of fire is 180° only (with the orientation on G8).
